Well, it could feasibly be NTL I supposed, but I'm surprised they'd stoop so low, even if they are the most scummy, wretched company ever to grace the planet (although Air France have a good crack at it too).

It could be a browser hijacker that's just come out, so Spybot / Ad-Aware may not have cottoned on to it yet.

If it's NTL, then check your agreement with them, as they'd have to be pretty devious to get you to sign up to something like that.

If it happened after you searched for something on the forum it highlights the search words.

Well it does for me anyhow.

Doesn't sound like the mud-club search engine facility, as that doesn't give you click-throughs on the highlighted words  :?

My guess is that it's our old friend "FunWebProducts"

It is very good at hijacking browsers, and whilst not malicious in its own right  is a bit of nasty adware.

No there is no link to click on it just changes the colour of the word searched.
